Y/N'S POV

Waking up the next day I felt the familiar stab in my brain. The dreaded hangover.

I didn't mean to get drunk last night and pretty much ruin mine and Tae's little hangout, but I've been stressed and it just happened.

I really didn't remember much else other then drinking at the restaurant and saying some stupid things. I kinda zoned out after we got home. I guess I'm just glad to be in my own bed if that makes up for anything.

Getting ready for the day, I shower, brush my teeth, get dressed, all that, and then I head out to the kitchen. Upon getting there, I see Tae walking in the front door with Tannie on a leash.

As soon as he sees me, he averts his eyes. I figured instantly it was because of the stupid comments I had made at the restaurant.

"I'm so sorry for ruining yesterday! I hope you're not mad." I say as I watch Tae put up the leash, Tannie running up to me as he did so.

"It's fine. It's no big deal. How are you feeling?" He asks, still having yet to look at me.

"I'll be fine. I just feel bad. We can totally do something today to make up for yesterday. Now that my hours are cut I'll be off a lot more." I sigh and Tae finally looks up to meet my eyes.

"Okay yeah, I'd like that. What do you want to do?" He asks as he runs a hand through his hair. "Whatever you want to do honestly. You can pick the whole day since I ruined yesterday." I say, still feeling bad about it.

Tae seems to think for a minute before he smiles. "Okay, I have the perfect idea!"

That's how we ended up here, at some random art gallery I had no idea how he found. Although this wasn't exactly what I had in mind, I figured it would be fun.

"Aren't these so beautiful? I just love seeing all this amazing art work." Tae says, admiring the picture in front of us on the wall.

I had never pegged him as the type to like art but I guess everyone has something.

"Yeah It's really nice. Do you come to these often?" I ask, wanting to finally learn some more things about Tae that I didn't already know, which wasn't very much besides what I had learned from the guys.

"Yeah I try to. I really love them." He says, his dark eyes sparkling as they went from picture to picture. He looked so content and happy here and that made me smile.

It wasn't everyday you meet someone who is interested in stuff like this. I guess Tae is a lot different from what I had assumed. This is why I was glad I was getting to know him more, so I could learn about the real him.

"Are you having fun? We can totally go somewhere you'd enjoy more!" He then says, seeming a little worried. I laughed as I shook my head. "No, this is fine. Besides, you get to pick everything today to make up for yesterday. Plus I like learning new things about you."

I watch as Tae listens to what I say, his lips curving up into a smile as I say them. "Okay, yeah...That makes sense. As long as you're not too bored." He says.

"Not at all. I'm glad we're bonding. It's nice, I really like seeing this side of you." I smile and for a second I swear I can see a faint blush on his cheeks but it seems gone just as fast as it came.

"Well then let's definitely continue on." He says, not looking up to meet my eyes as he begins to walk to another painting. I follow, watching the back of his head as I trail behind him. His hair was a little messy today and in a way, it looked adorable.

Listen, Tae is a very attractive man. Anyone with eyes could see that. Yet as much as I found him to be attractive, I couldn't imagine it would ever go past that. One, because he's my roommate and I'm sure that's all he sees me as too. Secondly, I still have this weird thing with Jin that's still somewhat unspoken for.

I gave him my number but we haven't really texted or talked much at all. Jin is cute, and he seems great, but I don't know. The more I think about it all, the more complicated it feels. When I think of Jin, I think of Tae too...

They're best friends after all and after hearing Tae say it would be uncomfortable for me to date Jin, it just doesn't feel right. I didn't want things to be weird between Tae and I, not when we were just starting to get closer.

I have no idea where to go from here but what I do know is, I'm really enjoying getting to know Tae more. He's a great guy.

"Coming?" I hear Tae ask, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Yeah, of course." I smile as I hop to his side, both of us admiring the artwork in front of us.

After we finished up at the art museum, we went to some sushi place to eat. We also hit up the mall where I was shocked to see Tae in his element. He was spending away buying things I couldn't even dream of affording.

At this rate, getting into his line or work didn't seem like a bad idea at all...of course I could never actually bring myself to do it but damn, was it tempting.

Hours later, the two of us finally made it back home. Tae set his things down and took Tannie out to go to the bathroom as I got myself situated in some comfortable clothes.

"Want to finish off our day of fun with a movie?" Tae asks, appearing in the living room as Tannie runs over to me. I simply nod, taking my seat on the couch and patting the spot beside me for Tannie to hop up.

Tae joins me on the couch, sitting rather close, but I didn't question it. Honestly, after today I felt a lot closer to Tae and I figured that was a good thing. A great thing even.

Tae turns on some random movie and we both fall silent as the movie starts, Tannie climbing in between the two of us, half on my legs and half on Tae's.

As we watch the movie, I can see Tae running his hand over the half of Tannie that was on him. It was funny how the dog chose to lay, but even funnier then Tae didn't seem to question it.

I guess Tannie really did like me just as much and that made me happy. I seemed to be on good terms with both Tae and his dog. It was a win win in my book.

Finally, things were starting to look up.

TAE'S POV-

At some point during the movie, y/n had fallen asleep. I glanced over at her, studying her calm features.

Even asleep, she is insanely beautiful.

I kept telling myself not to feel this way or think like this, but after hanging out with y/n today, I was only more confused.

I felt like seeing this side of her and how interested she was in the things that made me happy, it really opened my eyes to what I didn't want to believe.

What I was trying so hard to avoid...

I'm starting to like y/n.
